FOR A FEE -- Hundreds if not thousands of spectators watched the Panagbenga 2010 street dancing parade on bleachers placed along Harrison Road, surprised that they had to pay 50 pesos for a seat. Who gave permission to set-up bleachers on city property and to collect fees for personal gain? Who do they think they are, above reproach? Watchdogs should better count those stalls at Session and Burnham too lest they get under-reported.
